Here's a really interesting analysis of the artwork visible during the meeting between Bond and Q at the National Gallery:

What struck me is that Mendes deliberately chose camera angles to include the paintings that appears behind Bond's left shoulder and Q's right shoulder. It shows the care and thoughtfulness that went into Skyfall. Amazing.

Here is a youtube clip of the Bond/Q meeting in which you can see the artworks.

That is really interesting, I love how he analyzes the beginning with Bonds eyes lighted and everywhere is dark.

Brilliant analysis. I have to say, that upon viewing the film, I noticed 'The Fighting Temeraire' was a brilliant bit of foreshadowing for M's character. Last voyage. Hauled away for scrap, etc. Brilliant Mr Mendes. Well done.
